Former sheriff ’s deputy found guilty of two misdemeanors by Vickie Vértiz In this summer of police violence against unarmed people both in Ferguson, Missouri and in New York City, one former sheriff’s deputy found punishment. In San Bernardino, a jury found a former sheriff’s deputy guilty of two misdemeanor charges for repeatedly kicking a man in the chest and groin as he lay handcuffed on the ground in 2012.

U-CAN College Fair and College Night both in September The San Bernardino City Unified School District’s inaugural U-CAN event is Wednesday, September 17 at San Bernardino High School. The free U-CAN event is open to high school juniors and seniors from 8 to 12 noon. Free bus transportation from the students’ high school to San Bernardino High is available for participating students. “By providing free transportation and holding U-CAN during school hours, we hope to reach students who might not be able to attend our annual College Night,” said Dr. Kennon Mitchell, assistant superintendent of Student Services. U-CAN is unique in that it exclusively features historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) that want to increase diversity on their campuses. These colleges are actively recruiting students of all backgrounds, and scholarships may be available. U-CAN is a free event, but space is limited. Requests to attend should be directed to a student’s school and will be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis. Indian Springs High School is hosting the District’s 24th Annual College Night on Thursday, September 18 from 6 to 8 p.m. College Night is open to all District students and their families. During the two-hour event, students and parents can learn about financial aid and meet with college representatives to learn about different admissions requirements and course offerings. Among the scheduled attendees are representatives of the California State Uni-
